AN ACT ESTABLISHING A PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT PROGRAM FOR CERTAIN MUNICIPALITIES.

HB 6960 establishes a state grant program to help certain municipalities fund public infrastructure projects like water lines, sewer lines, and roads. The program specifically supports infrastructure tied to new single-family homes and "middle housing" (defined in state law) that include legally binding affordability requirements. Municipalities must apply through the Office of Policy and Management, which will set eligibility rules and track how funds are spent. Unspent grant money must be returned, and the program requires annual reports to the legislature detailing projects, funding awarded, and outcomes starting in 2026.
